now you can blame george w. bush for a lot of things. i don't think you can blame him for the situation in syria or blame him for president obama doing military strikes in syria because syria has used chemical weapons. again, i wonder if the people who make these arguments understand how tired and stale these arguments are. to blame president bush for the situation in the middle east in every country and to say that president obama has been president for five years, there's no responsibility, i think it's ludicrous. ly say this, these things are complicated. i don't pretend the united states is only -- if you examine the president and his words what he said before he was president at a dawn of his presidency h he will usher in a new dawn by smart power and so forth. he is the one that described the situation in the middle east will be. it's nothing like that. host: let's try one more call from maryann from new jersey on independent line. you will be our last caller with peter wehner. caller: i'm concerned my biggest question that i'm not

. >> reporter: a third former president-- george w. bush-- was unable to attend today, as he recovers from a recent heart procedure. instead, he issued a statement saying: the moment that dr. king delivered his famous address-- with the appeal to "let freedom ring"-- was marked by a bell- ringing ceremony. that set the stage for the first african american president, who said the struggle for economic opportunity remains the nation's great unfinished business, but he voiced hope. there's a reason why so many who marched that day, and in the days to come, were young-- for the young are unconstrained by habits of fear, by the conventions of what is. they dared to dream differently, to imagine something better. and i am convinced that same imagination, the same hunger of purpose, stirs in this generation. we may not face the same dangers of 1963, but the fierce urgency of now remains. we may never duplicate the swelling crowds and dazzling procession of that day so long ago-- no one can match king's brilliance but the same flame can light
